C. A. BROWNE 'SCREEN DEVICE June 6, 1933.

Filed May 9, 1932 M2 521? 29 JV which rests against said screen 14, and a screw which serves as a pivot, passes through said locking men1ber28 and said washer 29 and screws into said screen 14:, so that a portion of said member 28 may be moved against said outer frame 12 as shown in Figure 3 of the drawing, thereby looking the screen in place, and this same looking portion. also serves. as a finger hold orv gripby which the screen maybe convenient-f ly raised, and after raising to any desired position it may be held there by movingsaid locking portion against said outer frame as described, the force of saidspring member against said outerframeholding said screen in anypositionit is raised to.--

Topreventj said'screen' 14 fromsliding out of the guideways 22 when it is pushed outwardly, I preferably provide a stop pin or screw '32 at thetop thereof oneach side,

7 which projects outwardly so that it will contactwith'fsaid fixture 20fand thereby prevent theiscreen from slidingdownwardly. f

WhatIclaimis: 1. A screen devicecoinprising a screen embodying a flange on each side, and a plurality of fixtures adapted to be. pivotally fastened toa' window opening frame and having provision for said flanges to slide therein.

2, A screen device comprising a screen having a member on each side thereof extending beyond thebody'of said screen, and a plurality :of fixtures adapted tote pivotally'fastened to a window opening frame. and having: guideways therein at the front thereof in which; said anembers "are adapted to v J I 3; A screen device comprising ,aiscr'een having a flange extending beyond" each side thereof, and a plurality of fixtures adapted to 'ib epivotally fastened to a windowopening frame and each provided with laterally extending guideways in a, which said flanges may slide, and meanstoprevent said flanges sliding downwardly out of said fgui'deways.

if Afscreen device comprising a screen having a flange on each s1dethereofext'ending laterally beyond the body of andadjacent the outer surface o f saidscreen, anda plurality of fixtures, each embodying a flat portionadaptedto be fastened to a-window opening frame and another portion at approximately ri'ght angles to said first mentioned vportion formed, to provide a guideway extending laterally and having anop'e'n mouth portion at the leftthereof whenj in position, and means at the upperportion of said screen to prevent 'saidflanges sliding downwardly out of said gui-dewaysf' 5. A screen device comprisingfa screen having a flange on each side thereof extending laterally beyond the body of said screen,.and aplurality of fixtures'jeach embodying a flat portion having a hole therein adapted to be fastened to window opening frame' and another portion at approximately right angles to said flat portion having a guideway therein extending laterally and having an open mouth portion, the part forming said guideway at the front extending beyond said flat portion at both the right and left, and means at the upper portion of said screen which is adapted to contact with said fixtures to thereby prevent said flanges sliding downwardlyoutof said guidewaysi 6; A screen'd'evi ce comprising a screen embodying a flange on each side, and a plurality of fixtures adapted to be pivotally fastened to a window opening frame and spring means for said fixtures, said fixtures having provi sion for said flanges to slide therein.

7-. A screen device comprising-a screen having a flange on each side thereof extending beyond the body of saidscreen, fixtures adapted tobe pivotally fastened to a window opening frame,:and spring means adapted to exert pressure on said-fixtures, said fixtures having guideways vtherein "in which said flanges slidably fit, and means to prevent said flanges sliding downwardly out of said guideways. i a r 8. A screendevice, comprising a screen having a flange on each side thereof extending beyond the'body of said screen adapted tooverlap a'portion of a Window opening frame, a fixture pivotally fastened to said frame, asprin washer in' contact with said frame and sai fixture and exerting pressure on said fixture, said fixtures having guidew-ays therein in which said flanges slidably fit, and means to prevent saidflanges sliding-downwardly out of saidguideways.

9.-A' screen device, comprising a screen having a flange on each side thereof extending beyond the body of said screen and adapted to overlap a portion of =ajwindow opening frame, a fixture adapted tobepivotally fastened to said frame, a spring washer adapted to contactwithsai-d frame and-said fixture andexert pressure onsaid fixture, said fixture having aportion extending outwardly at the front of and adapted to extend beyond said frameiand forming a'guideway in which said flange slidablyfits, and means to prevent said v 115 'rflan'gesliding downwardly out of said guideway.-

10. A screen device, comprising a screen having a flange on each side thereof extending outwardly beyond the body of said screen, a plurality of fixtures adapted to be fastened to a Window frame in such a manner as to be movable, said fixtures v having guideways therein in which said flanges slidably fit, and a member movably fastened to said screen adapted to bemoved into contact with said frame to thereby prevent any outward movement of said screen, and means to prevent said flanges sliding'downwardly out of said guidew'ay.

' 1'1.'-*A screen device, comprising ascreen having a flange on each side thereof extending outwardly beyond the body of said screen, a plurality of fixtures adapted'to be movably fastened to a window frame, each of said fixtures having a guideway therein in which a said flange slidably fits, a member movably fastened to said screen adapted to be moved to a position in which a portion is beyond the outside edge of said screen, spring means adapted to exertpressure upon said member to thereby force it against said frame, and means to prevent said flanges sliding downwardly out of said guideways.

12. A screen embodying wire screening, frame pieces surrounding said screening, and a single piece of metal forming a metal strap extending across the joint between one frame piece and another and also forming a flange at the side of said screen extending beyond the adjoining said frame piece. y

13. A screen device comprising a screen embodying a single piece of metal at each side thereof which extends from the frame portion of said screen outwardly to form a flange at the side of said screen, a plurality of fixtures each embodying a flat portion having a hole therein for pivotally holding said fixtures to a window opening frame, saidfixtures also embodying another portion extending outwardly and, forming a guideway in which said flange is slidably mounted, and means to prevent said flanges sliding clownwardly out of said guideways.
